The daughter of a cannibalistic murderer has opened up about what it was really like to grow up with the notorious killer… before she came face-to-face with him for a rare sit-down for a chilling new docuseries.

Isakin Drabbad, now 46, became one of Sweden’s most infamous murderers after he brutally killed his girlfriend Helle Christensen in 2010 – decapitating her and eating parts of her body.

Isakin later confessed to the murder, and a forensic psychiatric examination found that he suffered from a serious mental disorder; he was convicted of murder in 2011 and committed to a mental health institution.

Now, his daughter, Jamie-Lee Arrow, has laid bare the pain that she has endured while watching the horrific events play out during her childhood during the upcoming premiere episode of Investigation Discovery’s Evil Lives Here: The Killer Speaks.

The episode, which will air tonight, entitled My Father, The Cannibal, will also see her confront Isakin for what he put her through.

In a preview for the show, Jamie-Lee was seen wiping away tears as she asked Isakin, who has since been released from the mental hospital, ‘Do you know how much you have to love someone to still want to see the person who is scaring you to death?’

‘I think it’s extremely difficult to have me in your life,’ he replied. ‘You can only see heaven from hell … I look at you from hell. And I’m sorry.’ 

An emotional Jamie-Lee then hinted at some of the horrors that she endured as a kid.

She explained, ‘It didn’t matter whatever you did or how badly you scared me, I always wanted to come back to you.’

‘I know, you’re extremely brave,’ Isakin told her, to which she replied, ‘No, I just loved you.’

‘It feels like I always listen to you and how you experienced everything, but I don’t think I could talk to you about how I really felt during my childhood,’ she added. 

‘I feel like now is my chance to finally speak up. And then I can finally move on and leave that behind me.’ 

While speaking to People ahead of the doc’s release, Jamie-Lee explained that before their sit-down in the show, she hadn’t spoken to her father in over four years.

As for why she did it, she dished, ‘I want people to understand the darkness I came from and that I actually managed to get myself out from under it. 

‘I still struggle with feeling like I am my own person and that my dad has got nothing to do with who I am.’

She admitted that it was bitter-sweet reuniting with her father, explaining that while at first he seemed like he was doing better, his ‘true colors’ eventually started to show again.

After they filmed the docuseries, Jamie-Lee said her dad (seen with his late girlfriend before her death) sent her a ‘sick’ message ‘threatening her’ out of the blue

‘He started crying and hugged me and seemed happy to see me. I so wanted to believe that he had changed and that he had become the dad I always wanted and needed,’ she said.

‘But his true colors started to show again. I just have to accept that my dad is actually sick and probably capable of doing that even though it hurts to admit that to myself.’

After they filmed the docuseries, Jamie-Lee said she and her dad had a few more visits and ‘some really long and deep conversations.’

She even told him that she ‘loved him and forgave him,’ but then, he completely switched on her and sent her a ‘sick’ message out of the blue.

‘He sent me a long, twisted, sick text message where he basically threatened me and my family if I ever reached out to him again,’ the mother-of-two revealed.

‘It gave me the closure I needed. It was like I needed that to understand how sick it all is.

‘I’m mourning him like he is dead. I just have to accept that I love him but he can never, ever in a million years be a part of my life, and definitely not my kids’ lives. It hurts loving someone that is so bad for you.’
